The report, prepared by the World Health Organization in cooperation with the United Nations regional commissions and other partners of the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration, provides an update on the implementation of the recommendations contained in General Assembly resolutions 58/289, 60/5, 62/244, 64/255, 66/260 and 68/269. It provides a description of activities and achievements by the global road safety community in pursuance of the objectives of the Dec ade of Action for Road Safety (2011-2020) since the previous report (A/68/368). Given that 2015 marks the midpoint of the Decade, there is a need to take stock of activities and events by Governments and other stakeholders to implement the recommendations made in the resolutions and to meet the goal of the Decade. Governments and other stakeholders continue to draw attention to the problem around the world and to prepare for high-level events that will drive action during the next half of the Decade to reduce road traffic accidents and their consequences for public health and development. The report contains recommendations to the Assembly for achieving the goals of the Decade. (Author/publisher)
